Frequently Asked Questions - GHV8B GORENJE

How do I install the GHV8B range hood?

The hood should be installed at least 65 cm above an electric hob and 75 cm above a gas hob. Follow the mounting template included. Ensure the wall can support the weight. For ducted mode, connect to an external vent. For recirculation, install carbon filters.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter every 2-3 months, or more if you cook frequently. It is dishwasher safe. Remove the filter, wash with mild detergent, and dry completely before reinserting.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, but you need to purchase a carbon filter kit (sold separately). Install it according to the manual. The hood will then recirculate filtered air back into the kitchen.

What is the noise level of the GHV8B?

The noise level ranges from about 42 dB on the lowest speed to 62 dB on maximum speed. The intensive speed may be slightly louder but is only used for short periods.

How do I change the LED lights?

LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician. If malfunctioning, contact Gorenje service. Do not attempt to open the light unit yourself.

Does the hood have a remote control?

No, the GHV8B is controlled via electronic push buttons on the front panel. There is no remote control included.

What does the intensive speed do?

The intensive speed runs the motor at maximum power for about 5-10 minutes to quickly eliminate strong odors or steam. It then automatically returns to the previous speed setting.

How do I clean the stainless steel surface?

Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or chlorine-based products. Wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.

What should I do if the hood is not working?

Check the power supply, ensure the plug is inserted, and the circuit breaker is on. If still not working, the motor thermal protection may have tripped; let it cool for 30 minutes. If problem persists, contact Gorenje support.

Where can I find spare parts like filters?

Spare parts can be ordered from Gorenje authorized service centers or online retailers. Use the model number GHV8B to ensure compatibility. Keep the manual for part references.

You have purchased a product of our new series of cooker hoods. We hope that our product will serve you well and for long time. We recommend you to study these instructions and to operate this product according to them.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• The cooker hood should not be connected to smoke flue, which is used for combustion exhaust
• The appliance can be used in exhaust mode (the exhaustion of exhalations into waste air stack) or, after additional buying of carbon filter and recirculation set in recirculation mode (circulation through carbon filter).
• If there is in operation simultaneously with the cooker hood (in exhaustion mode) appliance of type B in the same room - heat source (for instance with gas, oil, diesel fuel or with solid fuel), which draw combustion air directly from the room, then it should be taken into account, that these appliances create at combustion a certain level of under-pressure. Therefore it is necessary to provide a sufficient inflow of air (from the outside environment).
• The cooker hood is an electric appliance with Y – type connection. If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced with the producer, his/her service technician or with similarly qualified person, for to prevent the creation of dangerous situation.
• Do not handle with open flame under the cooker hood (for instance at flambéing etc.)!
